Elanso [62]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

8.13secs

Explanation:

From the question weal are given

Height H =324m

Required

time it takes to drop t

Using the equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

324 = 0(t)+1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 4.9t²

t² =324/4.9

t² = 66.12

t = √66.12

t = 8.13secs

Hence the time taken to drop is 8.13secs

A ball is thrown with an initial upward velocity of 5 m/s.
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

A ball is thrown at an initial height of 5 feet with an initial upward velocity at 29 ft/s. lets assume that  balls height h (in feet) after t seconds is give by:

<u>h= 5 + 29t -16t^2</u>

Explanation:

h= 5 + 29t -16t^2

 

a time when the ball's height will be 17 ft

 

17 = 5 + 29t -16t2

 

0 = -17 + 5 + 29t -16t2

 

0 = -12 + 29t - 16t2

 

Using the quadratic equation:

 

t = (-29±√(292-(4*(-16)*(-12))))÷2(-16)

 

 = (-29±√(841 - 768))÷(-32)

 

 = (-29±√(73))÷(-32)

 

 = (-29 + 8.544)÷(-32)   or   (-29 - 8.544)÷(-32)

 

 = (-20.456)÷(-32)         or   -37.544÷(-32)

 

 =  0.64                         or   1.17

 

So, the ball is at a height of 17 ft twice: once on the way up after 0.64 seconds and once on the way back down after 1.17 seconds.

Maximum voltage produced in an AC generator completing 60 cycles in 30 sec is 250V. (a) What is period of armature? (b) How many
Vlada [557]

Answer:

a. 2 Hz b. 0.5 cycles c . 0 V

Explanation:

a. What is period of armature?

Since it takes the armature 30 seconds to complete 60 cycles, and frequency f = number of cycles/ time = 60 cycles/ 30 s = 2 cycles/ s = 2 Hz

b. How many cycles are completed in T/2 sec?

The period, T = 1/f = 1/2 Hz = 0.5 s.

So, it takes 0.5 s to complete 1 cycles. At t = T/2 = 0.5/2 = 0.25 s,

Since it takes 0.5 s to complete 1 cycle, then the number of cycles it completes in 0.25 s is 0.25/0.5 = 0.5 cycles.

c. What is the maximum emf produced when the armature completes 180° rotation?

Since the emf E = E₀sinθ and when θ = 180°, sinθ = sin180° = 0

E = E₀ × 0 = 0

E = 0

So, at 180° rotation, the maximum emf produced is 0 V.

Estimate how long a 2500 W electric kettle would take to boil away 1.5 Kg of water . The specific latent heat of vaporization of
andrew-mc [135]

The time it would take a 2500 W electric kettle to boil away 1.5 Kg of water is 2400 seconds

<h3>How to calculate the time</h3>

Use the formula:

Power × time = mass × specific heat

Given mass = 1. 5kg

Specific latent heat of vaporization = 4000000 J/ Kg

Power = 2500 W

Substitute the values into the formula

Power × time = mass × specific heat

2500 × time = 1. 5 × 4000000

Make 'time' the subject

time = 1. 5 × 4000000 ÷ 2500 = 6000000 ÷ 2500 = 2400 seconds

Therefore, the time it would take a 2500 W electric kettle to boil away 1.5 Kg of water is 2400 seconds.

A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of magnitude 20.0 cm. (a) Find the location of the image for object distanc
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The radius of curvature of the mirror R = 20 cm

then the focal length f = R/2 = 10 cm

(a) From mirror formula

 1/f = 1/di + /1do

then the image distance

    di = fd_o / d_o - f

  = (10)(40) / 40-10

 = 30.76 cm

since the image distance is positive so the image is real

ii) when the object distance d_0=20 cm

 di = 10×20/ 20-10

= 20

Hence, the image must be  real

iii)when the object distance d_0 = 10

di = 10×10 / 10-10 =  ∞ (infinite)

the image will be formed at ∞

here also image will be real but diminished.
